The Premier League returns to the fold with another set of matches this week as Everton lock horns with Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea side in an important clash at Stamford Bridge on Monday.
Chelsea vs Everton Preview
Everton are currently in 16th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best this season. The Merseyside outfit edged Burnley to a narrow 1-0 victory last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are in ninth place in the league table and have been inconsistent so far this season. The Blues were held to a 2-2 draw by Sheffield United in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this week.
Chelsea vs Everton Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Chelsea have a good historical record against Everton and have won 75 out of the 191 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Everton's 60 victories.

- Everton won the reverse fixture by a 2-0 scoreline at Goodison Park last year and could complete a league double against Chelsea for the first time since the 1978-79 season.

Chelsea vs Everton Prediction
Chelsea have managed to find their feet in the Premier League over the past month but have been defensively poor throughout their campaign. Cole Palmer has been impressive for the Blues and will look to add to his goal tally this week.
Everton can pack a punch on their day but have been in poor form this season. Chelsea are the better team at the moment and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Everton
